Chapter 913 I Don't Like It

Despite the disturbance, they were still able to have their meal in peace.

Even after dinner, no one bothered to tell Fabio and Richard who those people were.

The kids were smart enough to not ask either.

After dinner, Andrew took Ashley out for a walk so she could better digest the food. The doctor had mentioned that taking walks would be good for the baby too.

Thus, Andrew took Ashley out for a walk every evening after dinner.

As expected, the kids followed from behind. While Andrew didn't seem too excited about this, his relationship with the kids had improved.

"Mommy, who were those people earlier? I don't think Great Grandpa likes them very much." Fabio came skipping until he was in front of Ashley and promptly stopped when he was beside her.

While he noticed that Chant didn't like them, he also felt that Ashley and Andrew didn't seem too happy with their presence either.

"He likes them. Also, you should call them grandpa and grandma, okay? They're your dad's parents," Ashley said firmly.

While the tension between the adults were real, Ashley felt it was best to keep it between them. The kids were still too young to get involved in such matters.

"Really?"

"Of course! Would Mommy lie to you?"

Ashley had a look of amusement on her face as she gazed at Fabio.

"But why do I feel like they don't like us?" Fabio looked confused.

Although Arya was kind enough to praise him, he still felt as if something was off.

Children were sensitive. All they needed was one glance to know who was being genuinely nice to them and who was not.

"It doesn't matter. We don't like them either. What's important is that we have Dad, Mom, and Great Grandpa. That's enough," Dany added.

'She knows a lot at such a young age,' Ashley thought to herself.

Smiling, she looked at Dany. "You're such a smart girl."

The kids burst into laughter at the same time.

After walking around the villa, Ashley began to feel worn out so she decided that it was time to go back inside.

Ethan, Arya, and Susie still hadn't left. They had settled themselves on the sofa with Chant.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward as only Susie would talk to Chant from time to time.

Meanwhile, Ashley considered walking a few more rounds outside.

However, now that she had already come inside, she couldn't go out anymore—it would seem rude.

As soon as Arya caught sight of Ashley, she said, "Oh, Ashley's back. You two seem to be doing great. Andrew knows how to take care of you."

Andrew didn't say a word while Ashley merely nodded o

e would try calling her but she wouldn't answer.

Whenever Ashley and Ellie were together, they would keep their phones on silent.

Naturally, Francis would be worried if Ellie didn't answer her phone.

Eventually, he would find out that Ellie was just in Ashley's place.

As for Andrew, Ashley wouldn't be able to come out to meet him every time he got home from work. When he arrived, he would find Ashley and Ellie chatting in the living room, laughing together.

Andrew would then call Francis and ask him to pick Ellie up.

This went on for more than a month.

However, it had been days since Ellie last visited Ashley.

Ashley called Ellie but instead Francis answered.

"Where's Ellie? Is she okay?"

Otherwise, why would she stop visiting all of a sudden?

Before, whenever Francis heard Ashley's voice, his first instinct was that Ellie was with her.

He couldn't deny the jealousy in his heart even if Ashley was just a friend to Ellie. But now, Ellie wouldn't be able to visit Ashley anymore.

"Ashley, Ellie might not be able to visit you anytime soon," Francis said excitedly.

Ashley failed to catch the excitement in his tone so she asked worriedly,

"What's wrong? What happened to Ellie? Where is she?" Ashley couldn't sit still anymore.

"No, no. Ashley, relax. Listen to me."

Francis was afraid that Ashley would impulsively run over to their house.

He didn't even want to think about what Andrew would say to him if that happened.

"Ellie is pregnant. She just got the test results today. We're in the hospital right now. The doctor said that Ellie's a little weak so she has to rest. I want to take care of her and cook good food for her so she can be healthy."
